The best way is to draw the structures..you wnt get a wrong answer that way...try these questions by making structures.

For these questions..u need to know the Structure for finding the Oxidation number...
CrO5 --- Cr is in +6 oxidation state..
H2SO5---S is in +6 oxidation state
for solving these questions u may see the method in this thread..

we cannot find this by normal way ..coz in normal way u take Oxidation state of O as -2 but it's not true for all oxtgen atoms here as we have peroxy linkages in which Oxidation state of oxygen is -1 ..so to find the oxidation state in this cases u have u use the method given in the link in abv post

we cannot do this by the normal method becoz in both the compounds there are peroxy bonds ..
In CRO5 there are 4 peroxy bonds and in H2SO5 one peroxy bond .....for a peroxy bond u need to take -1 instead of oxygen's -2 ... that will give you the answer ...
